Cross the Pond is VATSIM's largest event. As the name suggests, air traffic control coverage is optimized for pilots to fly across the Atlantic ocean while receiving full air traffic control (ATC) coverage along the way.

Cross the Pond is also one of the only periods of the year where pilots are guaranteed full air traffic control coverage in oceanic airspace, offering a unique opportunity to practice some of the special procedures that exist in this evolving airspace. To help prepare you for this year's Cross the Pond, experts from VATSIM present an overview of event procedures.

Covering departure procedures, oceanic operations, and tips for the arrival into Europe/Africa, this seminar is perfect for pilots who have a slot to participate in October's Cross the Pond, as well as those looking for some reminders on best practices for online network flying. If you have flown on IVAO, PilotEdge, or VATSIM before, and especially if you're looking to learn more about oceanic and international procedures, this seminar is for you!
